Racially motivated murders, which the article is about, are hate crimes. As such, they are prosecuted as hate crimes in the UK.

The calculation I made was from official figures. A smaller percentage of a larger demographic can make up a large percentage of the total.

Even if you want to ignore every number except your 25%, those white victims of racially motivated hate crimes presumably exist, do they not?

I go with official government numbers first in cases like that. period. And what makes you think police forgot to include the murders you mentioned in the official numbers?

Not some calculation I cannot follw. Not press reports. And unless you go and read the official report (there is even a spreadsheet, so you can use prime sources directly), I gonna stop now.

The police did include the murders in the official statistics . I think the problem here is that you don't understand the data you quoted and how it relates to the demographics of the UK.
